Abstract
Biopsychosocial factors play a fundamental role in the presentation of illness, recovery, and probability of return to and retention in work. Interventions at the level of the individual based on cognitive and behavioral methods and which also address sociocultural factors substantially facilitate return to work for injured workers and those who have health-related problems. Conceptual models of disability and illness are explored which crystallize thinking, improve understanding and facilitate the development of new interventions. There are major implications for health care, workplace management, and social policy. The case is also advanced for all in society to share a more realistic, more balanced and more human model of disability. New knowledge is presented on the relationship between work and health that explains why work is generally good for health and well-being.
